Shopping Madness at Isetan Members' Sale

Im a horribly broke girl who has spent most of her pay in juz 2 weeks! Yesterday was Isetan's one-day-only exclusive Members' Sale. Miss Candy and Miss Fiona happily went to shop during their lunch time. The shopping queen n shopping princess shopped for 2 hrs till they did not have their lunch, and went back to the office way past their lunch time. Poor Miss Candy cudnt get her pretty Nine West shoes and Polo Jeans cashmere sweater bcoz they were not available in her size. Poor Miss Fiona had a long cut on her left knee, being squashed by a fat lady behind her at a shoe section, n grazing her knee across a sharp corner of a shoe rack. Poor Miss Fiona bled in pain. But! That did not deter her from squirming her way thru the crowd to try to find anything good n pretty that she can lay her itchy hands on. The two shopping maniacs are nonetheless happie altho they did not manage to hit their satiable appetite level for a good amount of buys and bargains, in midst of having to squeeze thru the crowd and fumble thru the heaps of clothes.

Miss Candy and Miss Fiona met again for more shopping after work, plus dinner after the shops close. To meet twice in a day during lunch n dinner time, it seems like they cant get enuff of each other. But! They aint no lesbians. The two gers juz enjoy each others' company tremendously. N they juz cant get enuff of shopping.

Mr Nic came to meet the two sistas for dinner, and w a budget constaint, they ate at MOS burger. But wat a FUN time they had at MOS burger! Mr Nic and Miss Candy were so entertained by Miss Fiona's eating antics of talking excitedly with her mouth full and spewing bitz of food in the wrong directions. It was such a comfortable and interesting chit-chatting session that they engaged in for 2.5 hrs. Happiness can be derived from such gleeful simplicity.

Miss Fiona is realli happie that her dear Miss Candy could always get along so well with her bfs, yet will always be by her side and diss the ex-bf when they break-up. If there's one thing that Miss Fiona realli treasure, itz for her good frens n her bf to be with her, and that her bf can mingle comfortably with her frens and vice-versa, in a way that everyone she loves is part of one big happie group. Same goes with the Swing Girls. Miss Fiona is so happie when her dearez Swing Girls said that they treat Mr Nic as one of their silly jie-meis. Realli hope that her dearest IJ sistas can accept him in the same way as well.

To round it up, Miss Fiona bought yet another pair of shoes, yet another piece of lingerie (cant get enuff of these two items!), and a few tops for work and play. N she has alry bought a few expensive suits the last week! PLUS! She is a GLUTTON with such an expensive n fussy taste in food, and efficient digestive system that leaves her tummy rumbling every 3 hrs. She is officially broke! Someone please donate to the needy. Hahahaha!

A stream of sad sad tears

Today is a horrible, terrible, moody, nothing-ever-goes-right, why-is everything so wrong, day. Woke up feeling pleased coz I slept so so long n so so well. But shortly after, everything juz went BAD. Everyone in my family was in a bad mood. Even my gadgets screw up n fail on me. Frustrated me gets even more pek chek being yelled at. My driving sucks after such a long break from it. Clutching the steering wheel so tight with my heart banging against my chest as i brace the yelling n complaints frm my impatient dad sitting next to me. Flashes of my past accident kept haunting me until today. Read something on my bf's ex-gf's blog that hurt me so. Seems like she might not have totally gotten past her break-up with him. Insecurities creep up on me once again as memories of my past r/s reminded me that guys cant be trusted. It doesnt help much that she called him twice two days ago. Sunday is the day meant for me to relax b4 the start of a new week of work. But why do i feel more stressed out on a sunday?

Went to the hospital to visit my sick aunt albeit in a very very bad mood. Totally upset. One more thing that goes wrong can totally wreck it n make me burst into tears of frustration and despair. And it came. From someone i least expected. Someone whom i wished wud be there next to me in my midst of despair. Someone i thot wud make everything alright again. Someone i thot i cud count on to bring me the smiles and the rainbow after the rain. I thot wrong.

Mebbe i complained too much. Mebbe i was too much of a spoilt princess for anyone to handle. Mebbe my temper was juz too bad n out of control. But i was really very upset. Am i to blame? How could i control my temper when im alry driven to the edge? But now I know. You made me realize that I cant vent it out on you anymore. Not when the person i thot i cud complain to and vent my frustrations on suddenly lost his patience. For someone always so sweet, mild-tempered and patient, he suddenly lost all his patience for me. For the FIRST time. The sms he sent me was a SLAP to my face. A STAB in my heart. The trigger to my tears.

Uncontrollably as I stared at his sms, hot tears started streaming down as I hurriedly left my relatives and parents at my aunt's hospital bed. Looks of curiosity dawned upon me as I desperately tried to find a washroom where i can hide myself in. These onlookers prolly thot someone juz died since i was at the hospital. N there I was squatting pathetically on the toilet floor, locked in the cubicle for the longest time. Sobbing and sobbing, my arms were drench with warm tears as his harsh,sarcastic words kept running thru my mind and pricking my heart over and over again. At that point in time, i was so tempted to juz dunk my head into the toilet bowl next to me. Nothing could be worse than having the person u love most, the person u thot u can truly count on and turn to, to turn his back on you. I knew i was being difficult, hot-tempered and spoilt. But he didnt have to be so mean. All i wanted is for him to comfort me, the way he always do. Mebbe i pushed it too far. Mebbe i shud juz shut up and stop complaining all the time. I knew that someday and one day he will eventually lose all his patience and flare up at me. I juz din expect it to be so soon. I have reached my ultimate abyss for the day. Nothing could make me more upset than i alry was. This is the FIRST time ever that he made me feel so hurt, the first time he made me cry so hard, the first time he lost his patience at me, the first time he ignored me thereafter. N for all you know, there might be more of such instances to come.

I remembered him saying that he will try his best not to hurt me or lose his patience at me. Is it a lie den? Den again, when do guys ever keep to their words? As far as i can rem, all my ex-bfs nvr keep to their words for long. It was all said and meant "for that moment in time". Wat makes him any different?

These tears brought back such familiar feelings. My thots drifted to my present outlook and attitude towards relationships and how much it has changed from the past. I looked into my heart and i saw a very ugly scar. The deep and ugly scar that my ex left me with. The damage done was far beyond repair. Up till today, whenever i think about it, the hurt still burns inside me. Who could i blame? I was the stupid one. I allowed him to inflict such wounds upon me. I willingly allowed him to trample on me. I brought it upon myself bcoz i was stupid. There are some wounds that are too deep to heal...and some things that even time cannot mend. Unwittingly, i brought the past hurts into my present r/s with Nic. Im no longer the carefree and happie-go-lucky girl i once was. The girl who was so confident of herself. The girl who could love and trust with all her heart like she will nvr be hurt, like there is no tommorrow. I have raised my expectations and my level of caution, n lowered my level trust. Poor Nic. As hard as i try, I still bring with me such paranoia and insecurities that are the repercussions of my ugly scar.

You may ask...with all these doubts...do i still wanna marry him den?...My answer is yes. why? I dunno.

Thumpering again

Went thumpering at Thumper yesterday! Itz my Fave club! Been a long time, almost 3 mths, since i last went. After my Swing Girls ditched our plans to go out, luckily my dear Mr. Lim Chuan Seng asked me to go with him n his frens. If not, i will be so bored on a friday night! As a working adult, fridays n weekends are so so precious to unwind and have fun!

Thumper is a cool place to chill and club ur night away. I strongly reccommend it. They play mostly realli nice RnB music, plus a bit of pop n contemporary hits n a little bit of retro. Plus they have a realli good live band that comes on every other half an hour. Itz also the place to see and be seen. Mostly yuppies, working class ppl and some expats/foreigners. Pretty exclusive place. No ah bengs and ah lians and 18 yr-old kids! Age Limit is 23 for ladies and 28 for guys. But seriously, as long as u dress well, u will get in. They dun check IDs. But unless of coz if there is a long queue n the club is super packed, they might be a bit more selective on who gets in. So my advice is if u wanna get to Thumper, go early! It is usually packed by 10pm on fridays. I lurve Thumper! Im a Thumpering Thumperian at Thumper! Wahahahah!

FYI: Thumper is located at Goodwood Park Hotel.

My bf is a Fire Fighter

My Baby has been on reservist since Monday 19th Sept. This week has been the most boring week for me. A melancholic week of Blues. Cant wait till Monday 26th Sept when he comes back from his dumb stay-in camp. Why must men stay-in when they go for reservist? Why some no need? Why does my Baby need to? NOT fair. =( *sulks*

But im so proud of my Baby coz he is in Civil Defence! Means he not only does fire-fighting, but he also saves people's lives! He was part of the rescue squad during the Nicoll Highway incident last year. Can u imagine? My Baby is a HERO. Wahahha! He had to try to save n extricate ppl, no matter dead or alive. He even had to carry dead bodies out of the wreckage. How scary!! He risked his life saving ppl when the soil underneath is still unstable n may cause further aggravation. My Baby is so brave! There he is, all part of the exciting action and dangerous rescue work that took place at Nicoll HIghway.

And like all firemen, Baby actually has to SLIDE down the POLE when the fire alarm rings n jump on the fire-engine to go save ppl. Oh n he is the driver of the fire-engine! How cool is that! I can imagine my Baby sliding down that POLE...wah! So sexy. I think firemen r so so HOT! N I think it's such a turn-on if i actually do see him slide down that pole...hiakz!

Imagine, in times of war, those NSmen will be fighting at the frontline, shooting n killing people, throwing grenades n bombing each other senseless. But there my Baby is, at the backline rescuing people, saving victims and putting out fire. Woah...thatz what i call a true hero. A hero isnt one who kills his enemies but one who saves lives. I've got a hero as a bf! Yay!

But if there is realli war one day, I'll be the first to grab my Baby and RUN. Yeah screw all those patroticism n heroic bullshit. All i want is to spend a simple n fulfilling life w Baby. So all these reservist training is useless for my Baby, I cant wait till he comes home to me.

Rich Girl, Poor Girl

Shopping in S'pore is indeed expensive. In S'pore, i dun realli like to go for sales and cheap stuff. Coz stuff on sale are usually either leftovers that people dun wanna buy, clothes that are out-of-season, with defects, or in odd sizes. Whatever it is, im always suspicious of sales in S'pore. Unless it's something that is on sale but yet not dirt cheap. Or during the Great Singapore Sale. Den more likely it's worth the buy.

Somehow whenever i stumble across smthg that i like, i always pray hard that it will be cheap or at least meet my estimated expectation. But somehow, it almost never work out that way. Things that i like happen to turn out to be expensive. I dun think itz coz i have expensive taste...but more becoz..i have such a soft spot for very pretty stuff! Embroidery, lace, ruffles, flowers, butterflies, sequins....which all works out to be expensive. Plus all those pretty shoes that come in so many different designs that always put me in dilemmas! =( *sobz* I feel like such a poor girl.

BUT! When im in Bangkok and esp Hongkong ( I can hear Jialing and Elizabeth sigh and say "Here she goes again. Ask Nicholas to buy her a piece of land there"), I feel like a Shopping Princess! So many pretty yet CHEAP stuff! I'll juz take and buy, and buy and buy. Dun need to think so long. I guess over there they do not thrive on high margins but instead whip in on the volume. I feel so so rich!

Anyway, i finally got my hair cut. Well...trimmed. Went to Supercuts to try try since i heard itz not bad. Had to do so coz my dear Kimage stylist is relocated to Jurong (freaking far), and Kimage at PS is now Kimage Prestige..and poor me...cant afford it anymore. N neither do i trust the ppl frm other outlets esp the one at funan. Well, the hair cut at Supercuts turned out pretty good i must say. Shampoo girl is super helpful and kept trying to give me lotsa hair tips. Stylist was professional and good. All except the dumb cashier/receptionist who spoke poor english (ah lian pattern one), n dun seem to understand half the words im saying. Have to keep repeating myself. So irritating! N u all noe how bad my mandarin is. And they charge $36...more ex than Kimage! But overall still quite good lah. =) *relatively satisfied customer*

Going for my 2nd Salsa class tmr! I love salsa! Itz so so fun! Finally get to learn it since my ex-bf used to forbid me from learning. After Level 1, im going o to Level 2 den to Advance! And up next, im gonna take up Exotic dance and Rumba. I love dancing!

Realize that itz been a long time since i posted pictures. So here are some taken recently!

Herez Baby n me before going for dinner and meeting my dear Swing gers plus Candy and Yimei to club at Momo.

Mr Nic trying to be funny in the car.

Three silly girls!

Obsessed lesbo-s. We love each other to bitz!

The Perfect Catch

Baby n I went to watch "The Perfect Catch" yesterday night. It's a realli good and heart-warming show. Everytime the male lead does smthg so sweet n unexpected for the girl, i juz cant help looking at my Baby next to me n thinking how equally sweet he is. N there he was hugging me n watching the movie with a smile on his face, making me think to myself how lucky I am to have him n how blissfully in love im w him.

I was a happie happie girl last night, all thanx to Baby. We were shopping when we walked into GG>5, where they had an end-of-season sale. I was scouring for THE dress, the dress tt i was eyeing for 2 mths alry, n how hard i was hoping it wud be on sale. N there it was on the racks! But it was on the rack with the least discount...only 30% discount, when everything else was 50% off. I consoled myself tt i at least it din cost $104 anymore, but $73. Den again, i was flat broke. So i took my chance n asked Baby if he wud like to buy it for me since itz on sale. He asked me wat size i wear, Xs or S, n upon my im-not-sure-but-I-can-go-try answer, he hesitated for the longest time n i was so peeved coz i thot he was so reluctant to buy it for me. But it turned out somewhat differently. Apparently he hesitated coz he alry had plans to get it for me as he had juz gotten his pay. But it was meant to be a SURPRISE. N he was pretty sure i wore XS until i said that im not sure wat size i wear, cud be S. So he wavered. N ttz why he hesitated in the shop coz silly Baby was wondering wat he shud do now tt he might not be able to surprise me, n tt he might get the dress in the wrong size. So after all the hoo-ha n explaining to me, i was so so happie n dragged him to another GG>5 branch at paragon to try n buy the dress. N yepz! He bought it for me since it was on sale n the sale ends today! N ttz how i ended up as the girl who din stop smiling the whole night. So easy to please right? I was pleased not only bcoz he bought for me the dress tt i wanted so much, but also bcoz i cant believe he was so sweet to even have the intention to buy it for me as a surprise.

The other sweet thing he did was, upon meeting Jolin (tt silly ger who was gg clubbing) n entering a shop tt played wonderful RnB music which stirred up the clubbing temptations in me, followed by chancing upon Elizabeth n her bf where we were contemplating if we shud go club w Jolin n surprise her, he actually suggested giving up our paid-for movie tickets n bringing me to club w my frens instead. N nope, he isnt rich at all. All he wanted was for me to be happie, enjoy myself n do the things i like, even if it means spending unneccessary money. I was awed by his selfless-ness n thoughtfulness. He is always wanting the best for me, n i remed clearly how he once said tt he wud try his best give me everything i want as long as itz within his means. There's nothing in this world he wudnt do to ensure my happiness. (He even lets me go out w some of my guy frens even though he doesnt know them at all, albeit reluctantly n with feelings of insecurity n discomfort). Undeniably, he's the sweetest guy i ever had.

Throughout the movie, i was simply smiling n smiling. I cud relate to every sweet moment in the movie, n i kept thinking to myself how much i love this guy who is sitting next to me. I din care wat some ppl or some of my frens might think. So wat if he is the same age as me? Ppl think tt guys our age are still not matured enuff n itz better to date guys who are older. I beg to differ. So wat if he is diploma holder n not a graduate like me? I dun need someone who is so-called smarter than me, i dun need a guy who is tall dark n handsome w a good bod. I dun need someone who has all the riches. What i need is someone who is humble, thoughtful n selfless. Someone who is COMMITTED to me wholeheartedly, who LOVEs me deeply, n is true to me. Someone who genuinely cares about me, who always want me to be his happie little princess. Someone who wants to strive hard in whatever he does so that he can provide for me. Someone who holds no pretense, who exhibits his true self to me juz the way he is. Someone who loves me more than anything else in the world. Priceless.

Who else would sing to me every night without fail before i go to sleep, when i was sick and out for 2 weeks? Who else will always look n stare at me for no reason at all, n think that im the cutest n most beautiful ger in the world, altho there are so many other prettier girls strutting on the streets? Who else will have that special twinkle in his eyes when he smiles at me n tell me how much he loves me n how lucky he feels to have me...n there i was feeling the exact same way? Who else can make me feel so happie juz lying next to him n breathing the same air together? Who else can have the sweetest dreams juz by having me in his arms as he sleeps? In his loving embrace, nothing else can touch me. Nothing else even comes close.

N im glad to say tt, unbelievably n miraculously, i have found that special someone. It set me thinking n now I believe tt maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong ppl, before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to appreciate, treasure n be grateful. Altho the times we spent together may be a short n mere 4 mths, it isnt juz a honeymoon period to us. We had our fair share of quarrels n discontentment, our ups and downs, our stormy weathers. Yet when u meet THE ONE, i believe that u will somehow juz know it. N itz realli how u not allow ur grey skies to cloud the wonderful moments shared, n how u work hard to bring ur love to the next level, to rise above the storms, n not let ur differences come in between. To me, his love is brighter than sunshine. I can truly say that i have found my soul mate. With every little thing he does for me, im juz so amazed...n so so lucky.

I have said to him before, a lifetime with u isnt enuff...i want to spend eternity with u. Bcoz u make me feel like there is nothing as wonderful as the love u have given me. U r God's gift to me. N itz the best gift i ever had. The most precious.

I have found...My Perfect Catch.
